Title: Process for Obtaining Free Nitrogen from Atmospheric Air.
Inventor: HURFORD OLIVER PERRY
Filed: 1908-09-15
Granted: 1909-09-15
Abstract: 19,402. Hurford, O. P. Sept. 15. Nitrogen is obtained by burning carbonaceous fuel in the presence of sufficient air for complete combustion of the carbon to carbon dioxide, and then treating the gaseous products with water to condense the steam and separate the carbonic acid &c. from the nitrogen. Suitable fuel, such as bituminous or anthracite coal, gas, or petroleum, is burnt into a furoace 1 to which sufficient air is driven, through a pipe 2 by a fan 4, to produce complete combustion. In the case of defective combustion, ascertained by testing the nitrogen in the receiving-tmk, or at the exit flue 8 of the furnace 1, for carbon monoxide and free oxygen, the products are allowed to escape through a chimney 6 provided with a valve 7 ; in these circumstances the exit flue 8 is closed by a valve 10. It is further stated that it can usually be determined whether the combustion is complete or defective by the condition of the fire and the colour of the interior of the furnace. The flue 8 opens into a condensing- tank 9 provided with an incorrodible lining and with baffle-plates 15 between which are located water sprays 14. These sprays condense the steam formed and absorb the carbon dioxide and other impurities of the nitrogen, such as sulphur dioxide and trioxide. The absorption may be increased by increasing the draught of the furnace and, therefore, the pressure in the condenser 9. The absorption of the carbon dioxide may be facilitated by introducing lime water into the sprays. The tank has, preferably, a sloping bottom 19 so that sludge accumulating therein may be drawn off through a faucet 20. An overflow pipe 18 is provided for drawing off the water. From the tank 9, the nitrogen passes through a pipe 30, a lime-water washing-chamber 21, and a pipe 31, provided with a valve 22, to a drying chamber 23, in which a suitable drying-agent 25, such as crushed lime or fused calcium chloride, is supported on a perforated plate 24. The dried nitrogen is drawn by a fan 27 through a pipe 26 and is forced into a storage tank &c.

Patent GB-190907336-A (GB)
Title: Improved Grain-weighing Apparatus, for use in connection with Thrashing Machines.
Inventor: OPPERMANN ANDREAS
IPC: A01F12/50
Filed: 1909-03-26
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 7336. Oppermann, A. March 26. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to a grainweighing apparatus for use in connexion with thrashing-machines. The grain is raised from the thrashing-machine by means of an elevator and is delivered on to an inverted V-shaped shoot, which is automatically moved across the delivery spout so as to direct the grain alternately into each of two weighing-machines. Each weighing-receptacle e, Fig. 5, is suspended from a beam v, and, as the receptacle receives its load of grain, a ball 21 runs down a trough 20 and causes a sudden depression of the beam; an abutment 24 on this depresses a rod 8 and draws back a bolt w, thereby permitting the discharge gate j to open under the weight of grain thereon. The discharge gate j, in opening, pulls down a rod k surmounted by a bonnet k<1>, which engages a lever 25 and thereby closes a hinged feed-gate 27. Above this feed-gate is pivoted a flap 40, connected, by means of a system of levers, with a rod 33, the lower end of which rests on the top of the weighing- receptacle. A weighted lever tends to keep the flap in the closed position. When the receptacle rises, the rod 33 is raised and the flap is opened, the grain then falling freely on the closed feed-gate 27 until a sufficient weight has accumulated to push the gate past a support 28 on a spring-pressed lever 29. The discharge gate j is, at the same time, closed by means of the rod k. As the receptacle continues to sink, the flap 40 gradually closes, and finally the weight is made up by a dribble-feed through an orifice 39 in the flap.
